00:45 I feel like I can't be a good father with this job
05:09 I used to purposely get into fights at work just to deal with the stress and anxiety from my job
09:28 I want to save every patient, and have such a hard time letting go
14:51 I am desensitized to losses because of my job
18:17 Sometimes, I fear this job could get the best of me
21:22 My whole career, I never talked about the trauma I experienced because I didn't want my coworkers to see me as weak
25:34 The best part of my job is when people simply say "thank yo

    Telling a secret and then turning around to see you aren't ALONE? Straight sobbing immediately 😭 what a great idea
  • @user-qf4sl6kf7s
    Massive respect to all first responders. Highly underappreciated and severely underpaid. Thank you for all you do.
  • @brandon8762
    Getting paid $20 an hour to risk your life, work weekends and holidays, and miss time with family is so disrespectful. Something needs to change
  • @ondrarosie
    The single mom that’s a firefighter?? You go girllll👏🏽🔥
  • @mtyson3248
    COPS admitting to beating folk to relieve stress at work... I appreciate that level of accountability, hurt people hurt people.
  • These are the type of video's with deeper meaning that channels like Jubilee should put out
  • @jadehamelin9825
    My aunt has been a paramedic for over 25 years . She recently got stabbed during a work call! She has a lot of ptsd ! It’s such a scary job putting your life on the line .
  • @Alexusaka
    Jubilee should do one of these with people a part of the education systems teachers, principals, aides, bus drivers. They also get put into so many off putting situations and are mentally trying to push through.
  • @andresperez2791
    My mom went into cardiac arrest in her sleep a little over a year ago. Randomly in the middle of the night, just like that. Long story short, she shouldn’t be here but she is. Statistically she should be in a vegetative state, but she’s not. Miracle? Maybe. Regardless, I wish I could say thank you to the first responders. They shocked her heart 3 times, on the 3rd time, she had a pulse. Bless their souls, I have my ma still. She’s 52.
  • @sumaiya-ey5zc
    As a med student who was very lucky to spend time with paramedics I can wholeheartedly say that they are our whole life line.Seriously so much respect for all front line responders
  • @miresis
    Jubilee please do this for caregivers. They have a very stressful life and they are often not allowed to express their true feelings without judgement. It is so easy for people to judge others for expressing their anger, sadness, etc. about these types of situations without having a clue how it affects the individual's life.
  • @leonaw1022
    Super Proud of Kenny for speaking up and admitting he’s got help. I know the generation he was in it was a lot tougher to speak about these things
  • @cherry1816
    I love these kinds of episodes. Really shows the humanity in everyone
  • @neekyboo77
    The NYPD cop crying touched me so much. My heart goes out to all first responders.
  • Former EMT here. So much more needs to be done on demystifying and helping first responders get the mental health help they need and deserve. Many won't seek help for fear of losing their jobs and they also dont fully understand confidentiality limits. Their is still so much stigma to tackle within the workforce. Constantly being the person others rely on leads you to believe you can't ask for help because you're supposed to be the help. If you know a first responder, just know they will always underplay the intensity of their job. They have to in order to make it through the day/week. It's nice to offer that if they ever need to talk after a shift that they can always call you and you will just listen. Stay safe out there, and remember, even those helping others sometimes need help too ❤

    the "thank you" portion at the end hit me so hard becuase thank you is sooo rare and it throws you off when someone says thank you, it kind of catches you off balance. Heavy stuff
  • Love Kenny’s vulnerability, and everyone is giving such unique perspectives
  • 1:40. This was me, I had everything as a kid. Way more than my dad ever thought of having. He even bought me a car at 16. A dodge charger, because he knew once I had a family I would invest everything into them just like he did me. But, I misinterpreted what that meant. I grew up wishing I had more time with him. And wishing we would just say we love each other more. Or have that close relationship that I saw other people have. I grew to have resentment towards it. Specially as I grew up as an adult and had adversity. I never mended this with him. I never told him thank you and that I understand he did what he did for me because he loved me. He passed away last year. And I carry this guilt with me everyday of my life. I am so sorry dad. I love you.

    I think it would be very interesting if there’s was a video like this on morticians, funeral directors, embalmers, etc… As someone in that industry this video hit home on a lot of topics these folks talked about, even though I deal with the other side of life (death). Seeing others relate on something you feel so alone in, is a very healing thing and I think lots of people including myself could benefit from a video on it.
